always be this way

There was a coal mine Teeth grind Cold shutter on the east coastline A restaurant closed down near the pier You have a black bruise Ripped shoes No water and a broken fuse No smiles even when skies are clear My girl left me high and dry Right after a drink in the middle of the night I still wonder where she is now If she's mature enough to live in her own house We used to walk the dirty streets And talk about our crazy little dreams And now I'm Looking for my mind Where did the times go? What were we thinking? Waking up lower level neighbors with our dancing Now it's just empty And I've got an inkling That there will be nothing we can do to fix this And it's all man made No more shade And it'll always be this way The road is pitch dark No cars Locals singing at the old town bar A kid skips rocks all alone There was a blue ford No doors Cigarettes all over the floor Nothin in the street but a traffic cone My girl left me high and dry Right after a drink in the middle of the night Now I'm not sure I'm mature enough to leave Where did the times go? What were we thinking? Waking up lower level neighbors with our dancing Now it's just empty And I've got an inkling That there will be nothing we can do to fix this And it's all man made No more shade And it'll always be this way Now it's September And I can't remember The last time I had the feeling of forever Laying by the coastline Waiting for the sunrise Missing the feeling I got staring into your eyes And it's all man made And no more shade And it'll always be this way And it'll always Be this way
